PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Steelers have won 20 division titles since the NFL merger in 1970. Not surprisingly, their six Super Bowl victories since then are the most for any franchise.
That said, being one of the AFC’s top seeds doesn’t necessarily assure them of reaching the NFL’s final game.
Since 1992, Bill Cowher’s first season as Pittsburgh’s coach, the Steelers have been seeded No. 1 or No. 2 eight times – including this season, when they’re seeded behind only No. 1 New England (14-2). During that time, the Steelers (12-4) have won as many Super Bowls as a sixth-seeded team as they have while being seeded No. 1 or No. 2, as they are this season.
